GACA COACHES CORNER SPOTLIGHT
|
|
Coach Maurice Freeman, Head Coach of Brooks County
Trojans Football Team
|
|
Coach Maurice Freeman
is going on his 16th season at BCHS and has hit the 200 win mark as a Georgia coach. He was named Nike Coach of the Year in 2019 at the GACA awards celebration.
|
|
Valdosta Today did an article on Coach Freeman in June 2019. In the article Coach Freeman said that giving his players an avenue to be successful in football and life is equally important to him. He described the experience like, “a million dollars,” to make the impact he has made on not only past but present generations and that he is, “more than happy,” to do his part in the community.
His recipe is:
- Having a heart.
- Being a God-fearing man.
- Working the players harder than they believe that they can work.
